nov 24 former premier venizelos of greece has sent to the corriere delia sera of milan the following remark able statement the people of greece are unable at present to make any dem onstration or to maintain publicly their opinions and principles i all meetings have been prohibited nevertheless the hellenic soul j is working in all lands in favor of serbia and with a vision of glo-j rious greece before it i remain unshaken in the conviction that final victory will be with the entente because i think that if the central empires could j not win at the beginning when they were well prepared and their forces were intact while the allies were only incompletely pre pared then they can no longer do so safety of greece is with allies i am also convinced despite everything that the prosperity and safety of greece lie in a union with the allies who will not j merely be victorious but who will have command of the sea on which depends the future of greece by continuing neutral greece will not avert but will only post pone a war against bulgaria and she will expose herself to the danger of having to fight alone against a more powerful enemy the intervention which i proposed in january and before my resignation would have secured for greece with smaller effort on her part the greatest of advantages suggested aid at dardanelles i am now able to state that in my third memorandum to the king which has not been published i considered the military participation of greece at the dardanelles i said that greece would have obtained enormous compensations i merely if she had contributed to the military force of the allies these compensations consisted of territorial conces sions in asia minor i pledged myself to action by land with one division only and i believe that even co-operation with the fleet alone would have been accepted as to the landing of the anglo-french troops at saloniki i am able to state that in the middle of september i was aware of the imminent mobilization of bulgaria and wishing for the safety and honor of greece to go to the aid of serbia i immediately secured the mobilization of the greek army and obtained the promise of british and french assistance reiterates loyalty to serbia but when i communicated the franco-british promise to the king he replied that he did not desire to see foreign troops tread ing the national soil i communicated this reply to the allies and on october 2 the french and british governments sent me a note stating that the allied troops had already commenced to land at saloniki on october 5 the king censured me and i resigned i do not know what the present government will do in regard to the allied troops who have landed at saloniki but i affirm that the duty of greece is to fight by the side of serbia for her

silence says former j premier declares allies will win urged greek aid at dardanelles ______â€”â€”â€”â€”â€”â€”â€”â€”â€”-â€”â€”-â€”â€” special cable to Chicago examiner and london daily telegraph rome nov 24 former premier venizelos of greece has sent to the corriere delia sera of milan the following remark able statement the people of greece are unable at present to make any dem onstration or to maintain publicly their opinions and principles i all meetings have been prohibited nevertheless the hellenic soul j is working in all lands in favor of serbia and with a vision of glo-j rious greece before it i remain unshaken in the conviction that final victory will be with the entente because i think that if the central empires could j not win at the beginning when they were well prepared and their forces were intact while the allies were only incompletely pre pared then they can no longer do so safety of greece is with allies i am also convinced despite everything that the prosperity and safety of greece lie in a union with the allies who will not j merely be victorious but who will have command of the sea on which depends the future of greece by continuing neutral greece will not avert but will only post pone a war against bulgaria and she will expose herself to the danger of having to fight alone against a more powerful enemy the intervention which i proposed in january and before my resignation would have secured for greece with smaller effort on her part the greatest of advantages suggested aid at dardanelles i am now able to state that in my third memorandum to the king which has not been published i considered the military participation of greece at the dardanelles i said that greece would have obtained enormous compensations i merely if she had contributed to the military force of the allies these compensations consisted of territorial conces sions in asia minor i pledged myself to action by land with one division only and i believe that even co-operation with the fleet alone would have been accepted as to the landing of the anglo-french troops at saloniki i am able to state that in the middle of september i was aware of the imminent mobilization of bulgaria and wishing for the safety and honor of greece to go to the aid of serbia i immediately secured the mobilization of the greek army and obtained the promise of british and french assistance reiterates loyalty to serbia but when i communicated the franco-british promise to the king he replied that he did not desire to see foreign troops tread ing the national soil i communicated this reply to the allies and on october 2 the french and british governments sent me a note stating that the allied troops had already commenced to land at saloniki on october 5 the king censured me and i resigned i do not know what the present government will do in regard to the allied troops who have landed at saloniki but i affirm that the duty of greece is to fight by the side of serbia for her honor and her future belgian educators jailed by germans â– special cable to the Chicago examiner and london dally telegraph havre nov 24 â€” rector de vroye and vice rector dutry of the college of st
